FAQ

Just send me a message. We can discuss everything by email, schedule a call, or meet in person if you'd like. Once we've talked through the plans and decided we're a good fit, I'll send you a contract.

Your date is reserved after the contract is signed and the 20% booking fee has been paid.

How many hours of coverage do we need?

That depends entirely on your plans.

Two hours can be enough for a ceremony and a few portraits afterwards. A full wedding day usually requires much more coverage. If you're not sure, tell me what your day looks like and I'll help you figure out what makes sense.

We're having a very small wedding. Is it worth hiring a photographer?

I would.

I hired a photographer for my own small wedding. The photo you see on this page is from that day — yes, that's me. I didn't hire one because I wanted a long photoshoot, but because I wanted a few good photographs that would still matter years later.

You don't need a big wedding or an all-day package to have photos worth keeping.

Do we need to know how to pose?

Not at all.

Most couples I photograph have never been in front of a professional camera before. I can guide you as much or as little as you'd like. Some couples prefer clear direction, others would rather just spend time together and forget the camera is there.

Most of the time we end up somewhere in between.

We have a specific mood or style in mind. Can we share inspiration photos?

Absolutely.

If there are photos, locations, colors, or a general atmosphere you love, feel free to send them to me. Inspiration photos help us understand each other better and make sure we're imagining the same thing.

And if you have no ideas at all, that's completely fine too.

Do we need a couple session at all?

Actually, no.

If you'd rather spend more time with your guests, we can keep it very short. Even 10–15 minutes is usually enough to create a few beautiful photographs together.

And if you'd rather skip it almost entirely, that's fine too.

What happens during the couple session?

There are several ways we can approach it, and we'll choose the one that feels most comfortable to you.

I can guide you and give you clear direction. I can stay almost completely in the background and simply document what happens. Most couples prefer something in between: spending time together while I occasionally step in with suggestions.

Will you be directing us and our guests all day?

Not really.

I rarely direct guests unless we're taking a group photo or someone clearly wants a portrait. Most of the day I focus on documenting what's actually happening rather than telling people what to do.

And no, I don't mind if your guests take photos too.

What if it rains?

Then we adapt.

We can photograph in the rain, move part of the session indoors, find a beautiful covered location, or book a studio if that's something you'd enjoy. Rain changes the plan, but it doesn't ruin the photographs.

What if the wedding timeline changes?

Wedding timelines change all the time.

If events run late or plans shift during the day, that's usually not a problem. I'll adapt and keep photographing what's happening. If you'd like me to stay longer than originally planned, we'll simply discuss it on the day and add the extra time at the regular hourly rate.

When will we receive the photos?

You'll receive a small preview gallery within 24 hours after the wedding.

The full gallery is delivered within one month.

How many photos will we receive?

Every wedding is different, so there isn't a fixed number.

On average, I deliver around 30 carefully selected and edited photographs per hour of coverage. I'd rather focus on telling the story of the day than on reaching a specific number.

What if we lose our photos years later?

Don't panic — just send me a message.

I try to keep wedding galleries for as long as possible and generally don't delete them. That said, I can only guarantee storage for a limited period of time, so I always recommend downloading and backing up your gallery once you receive it.

What happens if you get sick?

It's never happened so far, but life can be unpredictable.

If something serious prevents me from photographing your wedding, I'll do my best to find a replacement photographer. If that's not possible, any payments you've made will be refunded in full.

Will you publish our photos?

Only if you don't mind me sharing them.

Some couples are happy for me to share a few photographs on my website or Instagram. Others prefer to keep them private. Both options are completely fine, and you'll be able to choose what you're comfortable with.

Can we do a photo session after the wedding?

Absolutely.

In fact, there are some real advantages to it. On your wedding day you get to focus on celebrating with your guests instead of disappearing for a photoshoot. Later, we can choose the perfect location, the perfect light, and take our time.

And if you'd like to do that session a year — or even five years — after the wedding, that's a great idea too.
